Finished up brewing last night. While whirlpooling, I typically pull my hop spider out so it is not in the way for the whirlpool action. It takes me probably 5 minutes for that to drain. It just drips.
I got me thinking (this recipe only had 2 oz of hops). If it is only dripping because the mesh is so clogged, that seems then that almost no wort is passing through the screen and I am not getting the hops well utilized. I have not noticed any downside in the final product.
Thoughts?
